Holy Sword and Demon Sword

As Deron’s Christmas offline event broadcast began, many people started connecting to the official broadcast.

It was an offline event that hadn’t happened even before the server merge. Naturally, many people’s attention was focused on it.

The official broadcast’s quality was good, but there was no chat window, a space where viewers could communicate with each other.

So, where would the people watching the broadcast go?

It was either the free bulletin board on the official website or the Deron Online Gallery, the largest community for Deron Online.

[Deron Online Gallery]

[Broadcast started go go go go go go go]

[Is the Blood Demon King coming out?] [2]

[The event notice came out on the 19th, but the Future Center reservation is next month…] [2]

[You fucking bastards, don’t ruin the gallery, go chat somewhere else] [7]

[Just now a Rudolph doll entered the gallery kekekekekekeke][1]

[Buying event coupons. Leave your Open Kakao ID]

[Event broadcast is on, daebak]

Since chatting was impossible on the official broadcast channel, viewers started using the gallery like a chat room.

Because of that, even people who didn’t want to watch the broadcast could find out what was happening.

[Look at all the empty seats kekekekekekeke]

[If these bastards were going to do this, why hold the event there?]

[Get lost, you streaming attention whores]

[Ah kekekekekekeke]

[Who’s the pig on the stage?] [2]

[If the guy in the plaid shirt is a developer, thumbs up kekeke] [2]

You could tell even without watching the broadcast screen.

Who appeared on the screen, and how the offline event was going.

The broadcast screen showed the inside of a quiet event venue.

There were people, but the prepared steel chairs had large gaps in between.

More people were entering as time passed, but at that rate, the prepared steel chairs would never be full.

Everyone thought so.

That thought was correct. Even after all the event preparations were finished, many seats were empty.

Viewers focused on the images captured beyond the screen.

A face wearing glasses.

Sweat constantly flowing from the forehead.

A belly and chest about to burst.

A plaid shirt with the chest area slightly folded in.

All of that was saying.

That person doesn’t really care about interpersonal relationships.

A guy who seems like he pours all his attention into game development.

-Ah, hello. Deron adventurers.

-I’m Jeong Cheol-min, the director of Deron.

Even the trembling voice that came out was perfect.

Naturally, the viewers’ reactions were explosive.

All those reactions poured out as posts in the gallery.

[Director Jeong entered the gallery kekekekekekeke]

[If they’re not going to do that PC shit, thumbs up kekeke] [2]

[He looks trustworthy kekekekekekeke]

[Kekekeke why are these bastards suddenly laughing? kekekeke]

[The broadcast kekekeke damn kekeke they don’t even care about the viewers]

[Are there no subtitles or anything? I can’t hear the voice well, you crazy small company bastards] [1]

Unlike the hot interest in the director, the viewers watching the broadcast were feeling great discomfort.

The problem was the screen that the broadcast camera was capturing.

The quality wasn’t the problem. But because of the screen randomly switching around, many people were feeling dizzy.

Apparently, the broadcast screen was set to be shown by a fixed camera at certain intervals.

[It’s so dizzy;;]

[Fix the camera kekekekekekeke]

[Director Jeong’s milk jugs are really big] [5]

[Gallery guild SquirrelThunder has 10 open spots, apply go go]

[If Director Jeong is bigger than the Blood Demon King, thumbs up kekeke] [7]

[Why does that bastard talk so badly????] [2]

[He looks like the otaku who used to scribble in his notebook next to me when I was in school kekeke] [2]

The broadcast continues without any consideration for the viewers.

Because they just turned it on and no one paid attention, no one fixed the broadcast camera that was constantly turning around.

In that dizzying situation, the viewers stubbornly watched the broadcast.

At the moment when Director Jeong Cheol-min was proceeding with the event with his clumsy speaking skills, he raised his arm high.

[It jiggles every time he moves his arm]

[He’s bigger than most women] [1]

[Kekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekeke]

[I’m coming when the broadcast ends. I can’t gallery because it’s annoying keke] [6]

[Cheol-min hyung is getting more and more likable kekekekekekeke]

[Look at Cheol-min’s broth kekeke I think he could make a bowl of gukbap] [2]

Director Jeong Cheol-min started explaining the function of the bracelet he was wearing with sparkling eyes.

Because a lot of technical terms came out, no one properly understood.

After excitedly pouring out explanations for a while, Jeong Cheol-min activated the bracelet.

With a bright light, a drab magician’s robe is draped over Jeong Cheol-min’s body.

It’s not real. Judging by the semi-transparent shimmering appearance, it must be a hologram.

But, Jeong Cheol-min said.

He will make it possible to play Deron in reality as well.

That bracelet was just a first step.

Jeong Cheol-min moved his hand holding the blurry staff.

There was no one laughing at his movements now.

Everyone was dumbfounded and admired his actions.

Shuuk-

A small fireball that started from the end of the staff flew into the air and disappeared.

I don’t know what kind of technology went into it. Jeong Cheol-min was excited and talked about it, but no one remembered all of his words.

[Didn’t we have something similar to this before? Isn’t it just a show to defend the stock price?] [6]

[I’m going to go farming in front of the company kekekekekekeke][2]

[What is that? kekekekekekekeke]

[Kekekeke are you bringing the virtual world into reality? kekeke]

[Deron’s stock price is suddenly going up.] [5]

[Then can we do Deron at the company too?] [6]

After boasting about their technology for a long time, Jeong Cheol-min started the event on the spot.

He randomly selected a few people who participated in the event and gave them the opportunity to try out the bracelet.

A total of 5 people were selected, two small girls and three ordinary-looking people.

The selected people walked forward, received bracelets from the staff, and then went up onto the stage.

A black-haired girl wearing star-shaped sunglasses and a white-haired girl wearing a pure white fur coat stood side by side.

As the small girls stood side by side, Jeong Cheol-min, with his large physique behind them, stood out even more.

Even if the two girls’ weights were combined, it was clear that they would be lighter than Jeong Cheol-min.

[Nong? Nongnong? kekekekekekeke]

[Suddenly what’s with the jjamminis kekekekekekeke]

[Isn’t that black-haired one the Blood Demon King?] [2]

[Gallery leader-nim kekeke went to participate in the event nong kekeke][1]

[Cute…]

[Hey kids, this isn’t in the game. It’s real] [6]

[Look at Cheol-min hyung’s belly. Is he wearing a donut? It looks bigger than the two jjamminis combined kekekekekekeke][2]

Jeong Cheol-min explained the operation of the bracelet in detail to the people who came up on the stage.

He asked them to take off the thick coats they were wearing and advised them to remove any large accessories.

Then, the small black-haired girl nodded, took off her coat, mask, and sunglasses.

And then she quickly raised her hand.

It was as if she was transforming.

That wasn’t the wrong expression. If you’re a user who plays Deron, you’re probably more familiar with the nickname Blood Demon King than the nickname. She appeared in front of everyone in her real form.

It was the first time she had officially appeared in front of other people since she revealed her face through a verification photo in the past.

Bling-

The light that started from the bracelet flashed and covered the small girl’s body.

After that short time passed, the light subsided, and the appearance of the equipment she wore in Deron began to be displayed on the girl’s body as is.

-Hyeo, Blood Demon King…!

As Director Jeong Cheol-min said. The small girl’s identity was the Blood Demon King.

She appeared in front of everyone in reality in that familiar form to Korean server users.

However, it couldn’t be exactly the same as the character in the game. Because the game equipment was implemented as is over the clothes she was wearing, things like her thighs and armpits that she often showed to others were covered.

But the reaction was explosive.

[Gallery leader-nim’s surprise appearance kekekekekekeke] [1]

[Crazy nong kekekekekekekekekekeke]

[It’s really the same customization kekekekekekeke]

[Are you going to show us your armpits kekekekekekeke][2]

[Did Jeong Cheol-min just call her the Blood Demon King? Do the developers also know the named users?] [1]

[But, should we see that appearance as a game character? Is it okay to say bad things?] [6]

[You look more squishy in real life kekekekekekekekekekeke] [1]

[Wakyapyahuknong kekekekekekekeke]

The Blood Demon King, Yeon, who finished transforming first among the people who went up on the stage. Yeon moved as if showing off her appearance to others.

The smug expression visible beyond the screen was exactly the same as in the game.

At that moment, another girl next to her bit her lip with a resentful expression and raised her arm high.

A heavy bracelet that didn’t suit her sickly-looking arm, flashed- and emitted light.

The light emitted from the bracelet fell onto the white girl’s body and began to create a large full plate mail.

It’s a Paladin.

If you’re a person who plays Deron, you can tell the other person’s job just by looking at the appearance of their equipment.

That’s right. The small white girl was a Paladin.

The girl’s light blue eyes sparkled.

And then, she drew her sword.

It was a semi-transparent hologram, but the appearance of the sword reproduced the data existing in the game as is.

-Well met, Blood Demon King. Today is the day I, Jupiter of the Holy Sword, will defeat you.

It was a cute voice that suited the small girl.

But the words that voice completed were not cute at all.

Who is Jupiter? She was a famous person that everyone in Korea who plays Deron would know.

Jupiter’s appearance in the game was not a small girl. It was the face of a slightly intimidating handsome man with a tall height.

Is it impersonation?

No. It can’t be impersonation. That’s because Deron’s nickname was floating right above the girl’s head.

The nickname implemented as a hologram was also floating above Yeon, the Blood Demon King’s head.

Not only that. The appearance of the sword the girl was holding was also evidence that she was Jupiter.

It’s the only Holy Sword on the server. You can’t not know. You can tell right away just by looking at the item encyclopedia.

Since the appearance of the item cannot be bought or sold, it means that the Holy Sword belongs to the girl.

So, this small white girl was definitely Jupiter.

-You, you… you…

-Are you flustered? Blood Demon King?

Unlike Jupiter, who showed off her brazen behavior, Yeon, the Blood Demon King, stepped back with a greatly embarrassed expression.

Perhaps gaining confidence from her actions, Jupiter took a step forward, extending her sword, unlike in the game.

Both of them are not over 150cm tall.

Two small girls were carefully moving their feet, aiming holographic swords at each other.

-Hayat!

At that moment, the white girl Paladin. Jupiter let out a loud shout and swung her sword.

Yeon, the Blood Demon King, reacted to that attack. Matching the quickly flying sword, she also swung her sword.

-Hiyait!

The holographic swords that met in the air pass each other. Immediately after that, the two girls staggered greatly and fell over.

Both of them overlooked the fact that this was reality.

What the bracelet summoned was just a simple hologram. They couldn’t fight sword-to-sword and struggle with strength like in the game.

Thud-

-Hiek…

-Eut…

Even the way they fall looks pathetic.

Unlike the atmosphere of the event venue, which had entered a brief lull with the two girls falling, the Deron Online Gallery was being turned upside down.

[Wakyapyahuknong kekekekekekekekekekeke]

[Jupiter… what is it???????????????]

[The gallery is ruined;]

[Wakyapyahuknongjjukjjuk kekekekekekekekekekeke] [2]

[It wasn’t an uncle…?]

[Are both of them game characters? They summoned Deron equipment, so it’s in the game, right?] [2]

[Wakyapyahuknongnong? kekekekekekekekekekeke]

[I’m going to reincarnate as a human kekekekekekekekekekeke] [4]
